2015 Draft a Franchise (NBA): Discussion Thread

[BmoreBird22]

I don't really know many more players at this point, so I decided to go homer (sorta) and take the kid from my hometown college. He's been a beast in summer league from what I've read

The picks are in. Sorry for the delay. I had a difficult time deciding between three players and ultimately had to leave a favorite on the board. I'll be utilizing the small ball line up frequently, but having a true big with a face up game only adds more flexibility. Ersan Ilyasova is one of the best stretch fours and is efficient on all levels of distance. I'd likely pair him with James Johnson when they're on the floor. Johnson's slowly become one of my favorite underrated players. He's lights out defensively, is strong and long enough at 6'9 to guard threes and fours with consistency. He's also one of the better if not best drivers and in-the-paint scorers, shooting over 76% in the paint. He's not consistent with his jumper, but there's enough range around him on the roster in that in shouldn't ruin the spacing. It hurts to see how much proven talent will be left on the board by the end of the game.

Can't go wrong by simply taking a player you like.

With the 172nd pick in the 2015 NBA Draft a Franchise, TBD selects...

Giannis Antetokounmpo, F

He's been gone

[Inqui]

He's been gone

I suspect that's why his next pick was Gerald Henderson, and the Giannis post came up late because it still had to be cleared by a mod.

All is good as long as you hate Jimmy Smith.

[Gordo52]

Beverly is a great pick at this point. Didn't really need him on my team with 3 PG's already though.

The last two rounds are voluntary. Just wanted to clarify that.

I'm out, skip meh

[BmoreBird22]

So, I'll do the last two rounds. Don't know where I'm supposed to say that

[allblackraven]

I'll do last 2 rounds as well

[Inqui]

Only one round to go for me. May as well stick around and see who's there to fill out my 15.

[gabefergy]

Why not finish out my team

This reason good enough for you?

[BmoreBird22]

Does that make me up already?

Have we insulted Jimmy yet?

I'm just asking because Lama just picked and I'm usually after him, but if you want to try that, just don't expect to post another day.

This is round 14, so we're on the way back to the top of the order. You also picked yesterday, so Lama was after you this time around.

Got it, just making sure. I didn't realize he hadn't picked since I was last up. I just saw that Truth had posted and assumed it would be my turn again.

[allblackraven]

Pick is in, Gordo on the clock if I'm not mistaken.

I think you may have skipped over 3 or 4 members.

Oooops

 

Smoke's post threw me off - thought he made it and the next one was skipped...

 

So, Nephews_Of_Peyton on the clock?

No worries. Just figured you'd prefer to know before anyone else saw the pick. Yes, sir. That he is.

Bad site to link to.

 

I am ashamed though.

I still can't believe the Celtics wanted to give up a king's ransom for Winslow at 9 and the Hornets 1) turned them down; 2) turned them down for Kaminsky.
